Aquaculture, like agriculture, is a complex subject with numerous facets for study in educational programs. Aquaculture is an excellent teaching tool, because it easily integrates many disciplines including biology, chemistry, economics, math, and physics. Growing fish, aquatic plants, and other living things in the classroom creates a living laboratory and promotes daily hands-on experiences that enrich the learning environment. It makes learning practical, experimental, and enjoyable for teachers and students.
